Our Accounts

We don’t just help one kind of person. Or one kind of business. Or one kind of nonprofit, family, or trustee. We have a variety of plans for many different investors or traders, and we may just have an account for you.

The amount of initial margin is small relative to the value of the futures contract. A relatively small market movement will have a proportionately larger impact on the funds you have deposited or will have to deposit, which may work against you as well as for you. You may sustain a total loss of initial margin funds and any additional funds deposited with E*TRADE to maintain your position. If the market moves against your positions or margin levels are increased, you may be called upon by E*TRADE to pay substantial additional funds on short notice to maintain your position or your position may be liquidated at a loss by E*TRADE and you will be liable for any resulting deficit.

Before deciding whether to retain assets in a retirement plan account through a former employer, or roll them over to an IRA, an investor should consider various factors including, but not limited to, investment options, fees and expenses, services, withdrawal penalties, protection from creditors and legal judgments, required minimum distributions, and possession of employer stock. For additional information, view the FINRA Investor Alert.

Diversification and asset allocation strategies do not ensure profit or protect against loss in declining markets. Investments in securities and other instruments involve risk and will not always be profitable including loss of principal.

Investing in securities involves risk, including possible loss of principal.
